Technical details
------------------------
Defeats all current and some future Xbox Live detection attempts.

Thanks to all the beta testers,everyone involved for without their effort this would not have been possible. Schrtom for Dosflash. Caster420 for firmtool. Keep up the good work everyone.

Note: The version is 1.1 due to internal changes, there was no public 1.0.
Dosflash: The only way to read and flash a Benq drive is with DosFlash(info) 1.3. There is a support thread here to help with users experiencing problems. It is recommended to try the dos16 version first. It ONLY supports VIA and NFORCE sata chipsets. When using a VIA card, please be sure to disable both your IDE and/or SATA chipsets as they usually interfere with dosflash.

That is correct, it technically is illegal to post the actual spot for the firmware but, now that it apparently is in open discussion until this link is edited, Has anyone been able to sucessfully download the firmware file. I have tried and cannot get the file to completly download, it stops with an error message halfway through the download and says "content decoding has failed" anyone have this issue yet when trying to download the fw?

Hi all, I have oberserved this: If you click the "Download" icon, it fails every time. If you click the firmware title (in green), it works every time - go figure!!!

right now M$ cannot detect the modified firmware what they detect is a non stealth game....which ixtreme will not even boot...all we can do is wait and see what M$ Does with the next big update.

I am sending back my xbox360 for repairs and I figure I prob. get a Benq DVD ROM from them so Im going to ask a few questions about it.

I see that it says:

turn on the BenQ psu, the DosFlash32 dialog should show up
- the flash should be recognized by DosFlash32
- you can now read, write or erase the flash

Does this mean when I power back on my xbox360 drive that the DosFlash32 screen will come up automaticly? Also will it start the flash on its own or will there be some extra steps I will have to do to start the flash? It also states the you should use the dosflash16 version first, but the guide states to use the dosflash32 version, should I just sick to the guide and use the dosflash32 version?

If it helps I will be using Windows XP and a SATA connection card.
Thanks to all that reply.
